Calzaghe: "Dawson is the LHW version of Pavlik. He hasn’t proved himself!"

‘They’re talking about Chad Dawson, but at the end of the day he’s a light-heavyweight who’s won a couple of fights and has just beaten Antonio Tarver, who’s an old man. It doesn’t get me excited. What’s the point?

‘If Kelly Pavlik had beaten Bernard Hopkins, people would have said you’ve got to go and fight Pavlik, but with Hopkins winning that one there’s no one left for me to face. Chad Dawson is a light-heayweight version of Pavlik. He hasn’t proved himself.

Looks like a possibility of a Dawson-Calzaghe match isn't happening soon or at all.

Zarco

he just demolished a guy that beat the guy you just beat and received major hype for. except tarver has 2 wins over a younger roy, one of them coming by ko.

what have you been doing joe?

egreezy

is he more proven then Lacy or Kessler who you tout as big wins?

Freedom.

He's right about Dawson - he's really hasn't accomplished much. Hopkins will school Chad, if they ever fight. Chad needs to fight Kessler, Diaconu, or the winner of Lacy-Taylor.

But I'd like to see Joe give Hopkins a rematch in Wales, as a farewell fight for his fans. Or, a fight with Zsolt Erdei, who's had a world title for about three years now, would be a good way to say goodbye to his fans.

Freedom.

No he really isn't. You're underestimating Kessler, he was a unified champion.

Dawson could prove himself by defeating Hopkins or Kessler.

LOL Did Hopkins ass touch the canvas?? Did Hopkins admit he was hurt after the fight like Calzgahe did??

How many people scored it for Hopkins. Associated Press, Yahoo, and ESPN scored the bout 114-113 for Hopkins.
